When you wear Google Glass, you stand for everything Google stands for

On Friday night, Kyle Russell, a tech reporter for Business Insider, was wearing Google Glass eyewear while walking in the Mission District of San Francisco. If there's anywhere that would appreciate a little tech, you'd think it would be San Francisco. But it's also a symbol of the tech-savvy pushing out the 'little people.'

Dinkytown Diary: The ‘blame game’

Dinkytown Diary: The ‘blame game’

As surprising as the University of Minnesota men's hockey team's defensive "no-show" was at Saturday night's NCAA championship game, anyone could see the Dinkytown arrests and damage coming from a mile away. And the post-"riot" quarterbacking has been even more predictable. And this is in a city that lost a championship game.

Judge: Flashing headlights is free speech

If I shout at you while driving, 'hey, there's a cop up ahead and he's running a speed trap,' there's no way that is a crime. If people can throw as much money as they want at candidates in the name of free speech, I certainly have the right to say what I want. At least, for now. What if my headlights do the talking?

Saved by legislative immunity

The Minnesota Legislature is slowly moving a bill stripping them of their immunity if arrested, although the sense is it's only because of the publicity the bill has generated. It's been impossible to find out how often the so-called 'get out of jail' card is being used, although the tepid reaction to the proposed legislation suggests it gets played fairly often.
